Mm
Bad good timing
That’s what you are

You walk past me
With a half smile
Like you know trouble
Got a new style

I say nothing
You say my name
Now every old rule
Feels out of frame

You got rhythm
With no big move
I got questions
I can’t prove

One small look
One sharp turn
Now my whole chest
Has to learn

I was doing fine
I was staying clear
Then you came close
And changed my year

No big drama
No grand design
Just your hand
Almost touching mine

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Too real to hide
You got me dancing
On my good side

I say no
Then I lean closer
I act cool
Then it takes over

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

You don’t promise
You don’t pretend
You just make trouble
Feel like a friend

There’s a song playing
From a passing car
You move once
And I know where we are

Not too sweet
Not too serious
Something about you
Gets dangerous

I was careful
I was composed
Now my good sense
Leaves when you’re close

I was doing fine
I was staying clear
Then you came close
And changed my year

No big drama
No grand design
Just your hand
Almost touching mine

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Too real to hide
You got me dancing
On my good side

I say no
Then I lean closer
I act cool
Then it takes over

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Maybe this is simple
Maybe this is not
Maybe I should leave
Maybe I forgot

How to keep distance
How to stay wise
How to tell my body
Not to take your side

You don’t have to save me
You don’t have to stay
Just don’t look at me
That particular way

[Final Chorus]
Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Too real to hide
You got me dancing
On my good side

I say no
Then I lean closer
I act cool
Then it takes over

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Bad good timing
Wrong right feeling
I don’t want it
But I need it

Mm
Bad good timing
That’s what you are

Packed my bags heading out tonight
City sights yeah they feel so bright
Got a feeling it's time to run
Leaving the past I'm ready for fun

Every step feels like a brand new start
Finding freedom that's where I'll find my heart

Hey I'm alive feel the rhythm rise
Dancing through the streets watch the good times fly
Letting go of what held me back
Now I'm on my way never looking back

Met some faces shared a laugh or two
Every moment feels like something new
With the music I can finally breathe
This is my time got so much to achieve

And when the night falls I won’t be alone
With the stars shining I've found my home

[Final Chorus]
Hey I'm alive feel the rhythm rise
Dancing through the streets watch the good times fly
Letting go of what held me back
Now I'm on my way never looking back

You walked in counting every step
I lost track somewhere near your hips
You said “Baby keep it logical”
Then moved like logic didn’t exist

My drink was ninety-nine percent
Cool confidence and one percent fear
You leaned in close changed every sum
Now nothing adds up over here

I tried to draw a straight line
You turned it to a curve
I calculated all night
Still got what I deserve

I’m bad at fractions when you’re dancing
You take half then take the rest
My heart keeps doing multiplication
Every time you move like that

One plus one should make it simple
But with you the rules collapse
I’m bad at fractions when you’re dancing
So take all of me—do the math
*(Do the math baby)*
Take all of me—do the math
*(Uno dos—bring it back)*

You got a rhythm like a riddle
Every answer starts a fight
Your waist keeps changing the percentage
Of the chances I act right

I brought a list of good decisions
You divided every plan
Now my balance is suspicious
And my patience left the band

I tried to keep it even
You raised it to a ten
I checked the calculation
Then did it all again

I’m bad at fractions when you’re dancing
You take half then take the rest
My heart keeps doing multiplication
Every time you move like that

One plus one should make it simple
But with you the rules collapse
I’m bad at fractions when you’re dancing
So take all of me—do the math
*(Do the math baby)*
Take all of me—do the math
*(Uno dos—bring it back)*

You say “How much?”
*(All of it)*
I say “Too much”
*(Not enough)*
You say “Count it”
I lose my place
When that rhythm hits the bass

You say “How much?”
*(All of it)*
I say “Too much”
*(Not enough)*
No remainder no return
Let the whole equation burn

Square root round hips
Quick clap slow kiss
I know numbers I know facts
But you make two plus two misbehave like that

Left turn three steps
No sleep no regrets
Every theory that I had
Falls apart when you do that

*(Ay ay—do that)*
*(Otra vez—do that)*

**[Final Chorus]**
I’m bad at fractions when you’re dancing
You take half then take the rest
My heart keeps doing multiplication
Every time you move like that

One plus one should make it simple
But with you the rules collapse
I’m bad at fractions when you’re dancing
So take all of me—do the math

*(Do the math baby)*
Take all of me—do the math
*(Uno dos—bring it back)*
No remainder no looking back
Take all of me—do the math

Got my feet up sun on my face
Life is a ride let’s pick up the pace
With a strum of the guitar the world feels right
Let’s dance on the clouds from morning till night

LAUGHING LOUD we chase the sun
Rolling on waves oh we’re gonna have fun!
With a trombone blast we’re breaking the rules
Together we shine just a couple of fools!

Running through fields with laughter in tow
A violin sings as we steal the show
Time is a game we play it so bright
With every note played we’re taking flight

LAUGHING LOUD we chase the sun
Rolling on waves oh we’re gonna have fun!
With a trombone blast we’re breaking the rules
Together we shine just a couple of fools!

LAUGHING LOUD we chase the sun
Rolling on waves oh we’re gonna have fun!
With a trombone blast we’re breaking the rules
Together we shine just a couple of fools!

I used to leave the light on by the door
Kept your coffee warm like I had before
But you were always somewhere else in your mind

Left me talking to a ghost wasting my time
Folded all your lies like they were clean clothes

Put 'em in a drawer that's how this thing goes
I cried in the shower so you wouldn't hear
Now I don't even need to — baby I'm clear

I gave you rivers you gave me drought
Spent so long wondering what love's about
But the woman in the mirror finally spoke
Said "baby you're the fire — he was just smoke"

I'm not broken I'm just done
(yeah yeah)
I was the moon you were blocking my sun
(mmh)

You thought leaving me would make me fall apart
(uh uh)
Boy you left — but you didn't take my heart
No you didn't take my heart

(ohhh)

I see you now when you walk through the room
Different energy like you shed the gloom
I won't pretend that I don't feel the weight
Of every choice I made a little too late
(background whisper: "too late… too late…")
You were patient like a Sunday in June
I was reckless chased a different tune
And now I'm standing here on the outside damn
Watching you become everything you planned

She gave me rivers I gave her drought
Now I'm the one standing here in doubt
And the man in the mirror finally broke
Said "she was the fire — you were just smoke"

I'm not broken I'm just done
(let it go let it go)
I was the moon you were blocking my sun
(mmh yeah)
You thought leaving me would make me fall apart
(never that)
Boy you left — but you didn't take my heart
You didn't take my heart
(no no no…)

There were nights I almost called
(almost…)
Fingers on your name then I'd stall
(stall…)
But every time I stopped myself I grew
(grew…)

Into someone I love more than I loved you
(bass begins to swell)
More than I loved you
(mmh)
More — than — I — loved — you

(yeah)

I'm not broken I'm just new
(just new just new)
Everything I lost was just a clue
(clue ohhh)
You thought leaving me would dim my light
(can't dim this)
Boy you left —
(he left)
And baby I ignite
(I ignite I ignite)
I ig-nite
(ohhhh)
Mmmmh…
(still standing…)
Still standing

Gary’s got a corkboard on the bedroom wall
Red strings running from the big to the small
Says the moon’s a movie on a giant screen
“NASA hired Stanley back in ‘69” he’s keen

Won’t eat cereal with a barcode line
Reads expiration dates like secret signs
Says the pigeons blink in binary
Then whispers “Buddy… they’re watching me”

Every answer needs another question
Every fact becomes a new obsession

Wake up Gary what did you find?
Another secret hidden in your mind?
Lizard kings and laser skies
Birds with government eyes
Wake up Gary take a day off please
Not everything’s a global mystery
Maybe life is just… okay
But don’t tell Gary anyway

He says Elvis orders food at night
Bigfoot’s blurry on purpose right?
Paul was switched back in ‘64
“Look at the eyebrows!” — he’s got thirty more

Area Fifty-One’s a holiday camp
Atlantis powers every desk lamp
Chemtrails spell my middle name
And squirrels? “Yeah… they’re in the game”

Every headline proves his theory
Coffee makes him documentary

Wake up Gary what did you find?
Another secret hidden in your mind?
Lizard kings and laser skies
Birds with government eyes
Wake up Gary take a day off please
Not everything’s a global mystery
Maybe life is just… okay
But don’t tell Gary anyway

Yesterday he called at half past two
Said “I’ve got something huge for you!”
I held my breath… this must be big…

“They changed the shape… of Pringles lids”

…

He wasn’t joking

Wake up Gary what did you find?
Another rabbit hole to pass the time?
Flat Earth aliens secret files
He can talk for seventeen miles
Wake up Gary you’re one of a kind
You make conspiracy sound sublime
If the truth comes out one day
We’ll let Gary say “I told you mate!”

The shutters lean half-open
On a street rinsed clean by rain
A receipt curls in my pocket
Like it wants to speak your name

Glass shelves hold the evening
Silver bracelets folded blue
Someone laughs by the mirrors
Then the echo thins to two

I keep the counter glowing
Soft enough to let you stay
Every little hour slows down
When the day unpins its gray

Window light after eight
Moves across the polished floor
Nothing loud nothing late
Just the bell above the door
If you come in from the weather
With your collar turned against the air
I'll be humming with the register
Like I knew you'd find me there

Elevator doors are breathing
In the mall across the square
Mannequins wear patient faces
Under amber fitting-room glare

There is music in the hangers
When they slide along the rail
Tiny moons in every button
Tiny ships in every sale

I keep the counter glowing
Soft enough to let you stay
Every little hour slows down
When the day unpins its gray

Window light after eight
Moves across the polished floor
Nothing loud nothing late
Just the bell above the door
If you come in from the weather
With your collar turned against the air
I'll be humming with the register
Like I knew you'd find me there

We don't have to call it waiting
We can call it closing slow
Let the streetlights choose the colors
Let the last few customers go

Window light after eight
A quiet gold along the door
Nothing loud nothing late
Just a rhythm asking for more
If you come in from the weather
With your collar turned against the air
I'll be humming with the register
Like I knew you'd find me there

I was on the block
With my people every day
Tryna get a dollar in a hundred different ways
Tell 'em I was hot
I just had to get away
And they tell me
"Brother
What about the old good days?"

I was on the block
With my people every day
Tryna get a dollar in a hundred different ways
Tell 'em I was hot
I just had to get away
And they tell me
"Brother
What about the old good days?"

They want that old me back
Now that version in the past
When I was a young kid
I just wanted me a bag

On the corner with my people
In the middle of the night
Everybody moving careful
Just trying to make it right

Man I been hot
I been on my own thing
Riding with a Taurus
I was on some horoscope thing

All my people winning
Man we don't ever forfeit
Me and my people never moving on no weak stuff

I'm in this place with my woadies
I'm in this place with my homies
I'm in this place with the people
That really been down
And the ones that really been knowing me

I'm in this place with the people
That said they would ride for me
And the ones that would've stood with me

I'm in this place with the people
That told me I couldn't do it
But now I be doing me

I'm on a different type time
Girl you know I been on my grind
Tryna move all of my people up out the hood
Get 'em out of the bind

I know that all of my people got demons
But that's why I keep all my angels around
I told all my people
"If you hold me down
Then I'ma hold you down"

I was on the block
With my people every day
Tryna get a dollar in a hundred different ways
Tell 'em I was hot
I just had to get away
And they tell me
"Brother
What about the old good days?"

I was on the block
With my people every day

Tell 'em I was hot

And they tell me

I was on the block
I was on the block
Tell 'em I was hot
And they tell me
"Brother

I was on the block
Tell 'em I was hot
And they tell me
"Brother
What about the old good days?"

You sent a message
Then took it back
I saw enough there
Between each gap

No big confession
No perfect scene
Just two people
Out of routine

I kept my answer
Short and kind
Left all the reasons
Out of my mind

You wanted closure
Clean and small
I gave you nothing
You could call

I used to replay
Every little word
Now I let it pass
Unrehearsed

I used to bend
Just to make us fit
Now I stand straight
And live with it

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

I don’t need the last word
I don’t need the truth
I got myself back
Better without proof

Better better
Better without proof
Better better
Better without you

You still look polished
From far away
Like all the damage
Had a clean face

I don’t feel bitter
I don’t feel small
I just feel ready
To want more

Some days are easy
Some days are not
But I don’t bargain
With what I lost

You had your version
I had mine too
Both can be real
And still be through

I used to replay
Every little word
Now I let it pass
Unrehearsed

I used to bend
Just to make us fit
Now I stand straight
And live with it

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

I don’t need the last word
I don’t need the truth
I got myself back
Better without proof

Better better
Better without proof
Better better
Better without you

No more checking
If you regret it
No more waiting
For some clean edit

I don’t carry
What we ruined
I just keep moving
Like I’m used to it

You can keep
Your side of pain
I can keep
My new last name

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

I don’t need the last word
I don’t need the truth
I got myself back
Better without proof

Better better
Better without proof
Better better
Better without you

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

Mm
I don’t need proof now
I just know

You left me crying
But I came back dancing
Mm
I came back dancing

You took the keys
But not the door
You took your coat
But not the storm

I kept the dress
You never liked
Put on my heels
And killed the lights

You thought I’d call
You thought I’d break
You thought my heart
Would learn your name

But I found myself
At half past two
In a crowded room
Not missing you

I let the mirror see me
With my makeup running
Then I wiped it clean
Like I saw you coming

You were the lesson
I was the flame
You left the woman
But she changed her name

You left me lonely
Left me hurting
Left me standing in the rain

Now I’m moving
Now I’m burning
Now I’m dancing through the pain

You don’t get to hold me
When I’m finally free
You don’t get the old me
She don’t answer for me

You left me crying
But I came back dancing
You left me dying
But I came back dancing

Da-da-da-dancing
I came back dancing
Da-da-da-dancing
I came back dancing

I saw your friends
They looked surprised
Like I should hide
Like I should cry

I smiled so sweet
They looked away
I guess revenge
Can wear a face

No angry texts
No midnight scene
No begging you
To come to me

I changed the song
I changed the room
I changed the girl
Who waited for you

I let the mirror see me
With my heart wide open
Then I sewed it up
With a little gold thread

You were the reason
I hit the ground
But I’m the reason
I’m rising now

You left me lonely
Left me hurting
Left me standing in the rain

Now I’m moving
Now I’m burning
Now I’m dancing through the pain

You don’t get to hold me
When I’m finally free
You don’t get the old me
She don’t answer for me

You left me crying
But I came back dancing
You left me dying
But I came back dancing

Da-da-da-dancing
I came back dancing
Da-da-da-dancing
I came back dancing

I was a house with the windows open
You were the match in a careless hand
I was the girl who kept forgiving
Now I’m the woman you can’t command

I don’t hate you
That’s too easy
I don’t need you
That’s the twist

I don’t want you
To come save me
I just want you
To see this

You left me lonely
Left me hurting
Left me standing in the rain

Now I’m moving
Now I’m burning
Now I’m dancing through the pain

You don’t get to hold me
When I’m finally free
You don’t get the old me
She don’t answer for me

You left me crying
But I came back dancing
You left me dying
But I came back dancing

You left me lonely
But I came back shining
You left me broken
But I came back diamond

You left me crying
But I came back dancing

Da-da-da-dancing
I came back dancing

You came in late
With a theory about forks and fate
I kept my coat
You said my silence needed one more note
Your drink went warm
While you described your personal reform
I changed my mind
Halfway through a sentence you redesigned

Too neat
You make good manners sound incomplete
Too sure
You diagnose the waiter and the furniture

Give me the crooked part
The bit that never learned to behave
Skip the polished start
I’d rather hear what you forgot to save
Don’t make it beautiful
Make it useful for a minute or two
Something disputable
Something that could only come from you

The bass moved first
You called it elegant then called it cursed
I missed the beat
You drew a diagram across the receipt
Your mouth said “fine”
Your eyebrows filed an appeal against mine
The plates were cleared
But somehow your complaint just reappeared

One step
Then a paragraph with nothing left
Two sips
And now we’re arguing about eclipse
No script
Just brass behaving badly at the hip

Give me the crooked part
The bit that never learned to behave
Skip the polished start
I’d rather hear what you forgot to save
Don’t make it beautiful
Make it useful for a minute or two
Something disputable
Something that could only come from you

You want a verdict
I brought a question with no proper ending
You want precision
I brought a rhythm that resents explaining

Call it defective
Call it a habit with excellent shoes

Call it selective
I call it knowing what not to refuse

Stay odd
Let all the tidy couples blame the odds
Stay sharp
Keep one good insult hidden after dark

Give me the crooked part
The one you never put on display
No ceremonial heart
No careful phrase rehearsed on the way

Keep it improbable
Keep it a little too clever to prove
Almost impossible
But still with enough nerve left to move

You took the spoon
I took the story
Fair enough
You looked less boring

Seventh Avenue 2 AM
You had your jacket on I had nowhere to be then
Yellow cabs blurring past the rain
You said my name like it was something you wanted to keep
Rooftop views and corner store wine
You made this city feel like it was only mine
But New York doesn't stop for anyone
And neither did you when you were done

I still hear the subway underground
Every time I'm trying not to think about
The way you laughed when the lights went out

New York I loved you
But I loved him more
And he left like the L train
Through a closing door
I still got the skyline

I still got the rain
But baby loving you was my
Most beautiful pain

Brooklyn bridge on a Saturday
You took my picture like you planned to stay
I framed it hung it on the wall
Took it down in November when the leaves would fall
You were Harlem jazz at midnight
I was trying to be your home
But some men love a city
More than they'll ever love you alone

I still walk the same blocks we used to share
Turn the corner half-expecting you'd be there
(yeah…)
But the city just stares
(just stares…)

New York I loved you
But I loved him more
And he left like the L train
Through a closing door
I still got the skyline
I still got the rain
But baby loving you was my
Most beautiful pain
(most beautiful…)

This city taught me everything I know
How to hold on
(hold on)

How to let go
(let go)
How to stand in the middle of a million souls
And still feel whole
(feel whole…)
New York didn't break me

He just set the scene
(mm)
And I was never really lost
I just hadn't found me
(found me…)
(ohhhh)

New York I loved you
(loved you)
And I love me now
(now)
Traded in the heartbreak
For my own vow
(yeah)

Still got the skyline
Still got the rain
(the rain…)
And baby — that pain
Made me everything
(everything…)
mmmh…

You showed up late with your hair still wet
Said “don’t ask where I’ve been”
I had two cold drinks and a nervous smile
You had trouble on your skin

We left our phones in the corner booth
Ran out before the bill
You said “I know a road where the city ends”
I said “show me I will”

And I don’t know
Where this thing is going
But your hand’s in mine
And the night keeps rolling

You say my name
Like a song you’re learning
Then you pull me close
And the whole street’s turning

So let’s run into summer
Like we don’t know better
Heartbeats loud
In the hot bad weather

You and me
Getting gone together
If we fall too fast
We can blame it on forever

Run run
Into the blue
I don’t need a plan
When I’m running with you

Run run
Like lovers do
I don’t need the world
I just need one more minute with you

You kicked your shoes off by the seaside bar
Danced on the pavement line
I tried to act like I didn’t care
But I was losing my mind

You stole my cap I stole your look
We were laughing too loud
Somebody played that old guitar
And you sang to the crowd

And I don’t know
If this is a warning
But your eyes say stay
Till the blue of morning

You say my name
Like you mean it maybe
Then you smile like that
And the night goes crazy

So let’s run into summer
Like we don’t know better
Heartbeats loud
In the hot bad weather

You and me
Getting gone together
If we fall too fast
We can blame it on forever

Run run
Into the blue
I don’t need a plan
When I’m running with you

Run run
Like lovers do
I don’t need the world
I just need one more minute with you

Oh-oh-oh
One more minute with you
Oh-oh-oh
One more minute with you

**[Bridge - Half Time]**
Maybe September comes too soon
Maybe this all disappears
Maybe we’re just two hearts
Making too much noise out here

But I don’t wanna slow down
I don’t wanna be right
I just wanna keep you
For the rest of tonight

So let’s run into summer
Like we don’t know better
Heartbeats loud
In the hot bad weather

You and me
Getting gone together
If we fall too fast
We can blame it on forever

Run run
Into the blue
I don’t need a plan
When I’m running with you

Run run
Like lovers do
I don’t need the world
I just need one more minute with you

Oh-oh-oh
One more minute with you
Oh-oh-oh
Run into summer with you

Good morning citizens
Your mood has been selected
Please remain casually impressed

I bought a smile from a vending machine
It came with batteries polished and clean
The screen said “Buddy you’re doing fine”
Then charged my card for wasting its time

My neighbor’s dog has a podcast now
He sells good habits and teaches you how
I wear dark glasses inside the store
So the cameras think I’ve been here before

Nothing is wrong nothing is real
Spin that message seal the deal
Everybody wants a better view
Nobody wants to change the room

Turn me down to channel zero
No big plan no chosen hero
Keep that smile for the television
I’m off-grid with bad reception

Channel zero moving slowly
Everybody knows me nobody knows me
Cut the signal lose the logo
Meet me down on channel zero

The mayor dances in a cereal ad
Says being watched should make us glad
A plastic moon hangs over the street
While delivery drones argue over the beat

My profile picture went out for a walk
Came back famous and refused to talk
It signed my name to a brand-new life
With better teeth and a rented wife

Nothing is wrong nothing is real
Pick a number turn the wheel
Everybody wants a cleaner truth
Printed fresh in a rented booth

Turn me down to channel zero
No big plan no chosen hero
Keep that smile for the television
I’m off-grid with bad reception

Channel zero moving slowly
Everybody knows me nobody knows me
Cut the signal lose the logo
Meet me down on channel zero

Terms and conditions tattooed on the ceiling
Swipe for approval subscribe to a feeling
Five-star panic in a paper cup
The world went down but the price went up

I got two left shoes and a counterfeit map
A government pigeon asleep in my lap
They said “Stay positive stay on brand”
So I drew a door where they built a wall
And walked straight through with the mic in my hand

No notification
No explanation
No invitation
Just oscillation

No verification
No celebration
Lose your location
Find your vibration

Turn me down to channel zero
No big plan no chosen hero
Keep that smile for the television
I’m off-grid with bad reception

Channel zero moving slowly
Everybody knows me nobody knows me
Cut the signal lose the logo
Meet me down on channel zero

Your session has expired
Good

Ladies and gentlemen
From Vienna to Miami
From the palace to the party
They call him
Disco Machiavelli

Not a prince
Not a saint
Just trouble in a velvet jacket

He walks in late with a golden cane
White silk shirt and a champagne stain
Everybody knows but nobody tells
He buys bad luck and sells it well

Midnight phone no caller ID
Three black cars on a one-way street
He says “my dear don’t follow the rules”
Then disappears by the swimming pool

He’s got the city on a string
He makes the mirror wanna sing
Too much charm too much heat
Dancing like a scandal in the street

Disco Machiavelli
Oh-oh he’s ready
Heart so heavy
But the beat so steady

Disco Machiavelli
Ciao baby ciao
Everybody wants him
Nobody knows how

Machiavelli
Machiavelli
Nicht so schnell mein Freund

She met him once at the Hotel Noir
Red wine smile and a stolen car
He said “love is politics darling you’ll see”
Then left her name on the balcony

Velvet gloves dangerous plans
Kissing rings on invisible hands
He don’t dance he negotiates
With the DJ and the city gates

He’s got the night under control
Silver shoes and a borrowed soul
Too much style too much speed
Living like the headline of the week

Disco Machiavelli
Oh-oh he’s ready
Heart so heavy
But the beat so steady

Disco Machiavelli
Ciao baby ciao
Everybody wants him
Nobody knows how

Signorina
Listen carefully
Power is a dance floor
And everybody pays entry

He said it with a smile
Then he vanished in the bassline

Machiavelli
Machiavelli
Dance with the devil
But dress like heaven

Machiavelli
Machiavelli
Too much drama
Too much leather

Disco Machiavelli
Oh-oh he’s ready
Heart so heavy
But the beat so steady

Disco Machiavelli
Ciao baby ciao
Everybody wants him
Nobody knows how

Disco Machiavelli
Oh-oh he’s ready
Velvet panic
Television confetti

Disco Machiavelli
Ciao baby ciao
He was here for a minute
He’s a legend now

From Vienna to Miami
From the palace to the party

Disco Machiavelli

Ciao baby ciao

Thoughts collide as I reflect
Searching for what I can't connect
Every chord brings back your smile
But it's just an empty aisle

Time keeps moving yet I'm here
Holding on to what was dear
Words unspoken cloud my view
Moments lost but still feel you

Hey can you hear me?
I'm lost in the sound
Gripping tight can't let go
Of the warmth of you
Will I find my way through?

Every twist brings back your name
Searching for a spark to reclaim
But I breathe I choose to dance
Finding strength in every chance

Letting go of what we've known
Building paths where love has grown
Every heartbeat every sound
New stories waiting to be found

Hey can you hear me?
I'm lost in the sound
Gripping tight can't let go
Of the warmth of you
Will I find my way through?

We got a little time
Let's burn a little more
Soakin' in the sunshine
In love with the shore
And when the night falls
I get a little bored
I think of you

In a sundress (Ooh)
Dancin' with the moonlight (Ah)
Can't get enough
Let's fall in love

We're all just a summer fling
Who cares if it ends?
We're here for the ride
One last goodbye
Mm-mm
We're all just a summer fling
And even when it ends
We're here for the ride
One last goodbye
Mm-mm

Ooh
Ooh

We're all just a summer fling
Who cares if it ends?
We're here for the ride
One last goodbye
Mm-mm
We're all just a summer fling
And even when it ends
We're here for the ride
One last goodbye
Mm-mm

Ooh
Ooh

One more message then I let it go
No hard feelings just a different road

You send a question past a quarter two
I read it twice but I already knew
We kept a habit long beyond its use
Now every answer feels like an excuse

I don't need a perfect ending
I just need a line that's true

No replay no replay
We can leave it where it changed
No replay no replay
I won't trade my peace for yesterday
Keep the good release the weight
No replay no replay

No no no replay
No no no replay

Friends keep asking if I miss the sound
I miss who I was when you came around
But missing isn't an instruction now
I know the exit and I know it counts

I don't need a perfect ending
I just need a line that's true

No replay no replay
We can leave it where it changed
No replay no replay
I won't trade my peace for yesterday
Keep the good release the weight
No replay no replay

Maybe closure isn't something said
Maybe it's the choice to step ahead
No villain no score no debt to pay
Just two people choosing separate ways

No replay no replay
We can leave it where it changed
No replay no replay
I won't trade my peace for yesterday
Keep the good release the weight
No replay no replay

No hard feelings no replay
I choose peace and walk away

Walking in I feel the shift
Confidence it’s my gift
No more waiting for a sign
I’m my own and I feel fine

Every glance they see the change
A subtle glow I rearrange
Moving through like I own the space
This is my time I’ll set the pace

I’m not here for your approval
Shining bright I’m my own fuel
Step aside feel the vibe let it sway
I’m alive in this power play

No more aftertone of what could be
I’m the story I’m the key
With each beat I redefine
Crafting moments I’m aligned

Every glance they see the change
A subtle glow I rearrange
Moving through like I own the space
This is my time I’ll set the pace

I’m not here for your approval
Shining bright I’m my own fuel
Step aside feel the vibe let it sway
I’m alive in this power play

Yeah I walk in cool no script no stunt
Clean cut low talk I don’t need the front
Hands in the pocket watch the room bend
Every small doubt I had I just left to end
Fresh on my feet let the floorboards talk
No borrowed shine I built my own walk
Look at me now no mask no delay
I move with the groove then I move out the way

Catch the rhythm let it flow
This is where I’ll let it show
No more doubt just clarity
This is my reality

I’m not here for your approval
Shining bright I’m my own fuel
Step aside feel the vibe let it sway
I’m alive in this power play

At seven the glass doors learn the street by name
sale tags turn slowly in the conditioned air
someone leaves a blue scarf folded out of place
and the mirror keeps pretending not to stare

A clerk counts coins like small weather
one by one into a paper tray
the fitting rooms exhale together
as the weekday loosens its display

Keep the low lamps on
let the room breathe out
there is music in the ordinary
when the hurry thins around
Soft returns quiet shelves
hands on fabric nothing else
after seven after seven
we move lightly through ourselves

Perfume cards sleep beside the counter
shoes line up like they know the floor
outside taxis change their colors
inside no one needs to want more

A coat on a hanger turns human
for a second in the corner light
I almost ask it where it's going
then I let it keep the night

Keep the low lamps on
let the room breathe out
there is music in the ordinary
when the hurry thins around
Soft returns quiet shelves
hands on fabric nothing else
after seven after seven
we move lightly through ourselves

Not every song should chase the ceiling
not every room should ask for rain
some evenings only need a rhythm
folded neatly with a name

Keep the low lamps on
let the room breathe out
there is music in the ordinary
when the hurry thins around
Soft returns quiet shelves
hands on fabric nothing else
after seven after seven
we move lightly through ourselves

The last receipt curls by the drawer
one small moon on the floor
after seven after seven
nothing asks to be more
